JOIN NOWHow to control a high ball with different body parts?
I play in the midfield for my football team, and it seems like whenever (training or a game) a high ball, from say a goal kick or clearance or chip, comes to me, I struggle to control it. It always bounces away. I have done endless passing, receiving, juggling, you name it drills, but what I really need are specific drills that help me control (feet, chest, etc) a ball that is coming to me with power and height. Any ideas?

Hi there,
We have plenty of drills here at Sportplan to give you a helping hand - simply type in the search bar at the top of the page control and you`ll find loads of drills to control the ball. These drills cover different body parts, such as controlling with your thigh or chest. I`ve included one for you below to get started with, which is controlling the ball with your laces.
Hope that helps!
